Abstract
Philosophy and science can go hand in hand. They complement each other. On one hand philosophy deals with principles of qualitative nature and on the other hand, science quantifies the basic principles of philosophy. Science is materialistic counterpart of spiritualistic philosophy. Ayurveda is a blend of two. Most principles of Ayurveda are of subjective nature like Tridosha, Prakriti, Panch-mahabhutas, etc. These principles are based upon deep rooted laws of nature and hold good in day-to-day Ayurveda practices. Ayurveda has also attempted to measure these natural principles through the concept of Pramana (measurements). Though the concept of Pramana is there yet it has been further applied to explain the concepts of Ayurveda on objective criteria to an extent only. An attempt to use Pramana as one of the factor to postulate concept of Prakriti has been made here. This work will establish concept of Prakriti on one of the objective parameter and will open the opportunity to carry out work on the similar plan in future too.
